This issue of UFO REVIEW, dated June 1983, features an exclusive interview with Lynn and Anthony Volpe, who identify themselves as UFO contactees and soulmates. The magazine explores themes of alien encounters, spiritual evolution, and predictions about Earth's future.

Exclusive Interview: Lynn & Anthony Volpe

The interview begins with Anthony Volpe recounting a significant UFO experience in Florida in 1977. While visiting fellow contactee Lydia Stalnaker, they were invited to a meeting with alien contacts. During the night, Anthony attempted to decipher a formula given to Lydia by aliens, which was believed to hold the secret of the pyramids. When played as musical notes on an organ, it created a static charge in the room. The following night, after sleeping in a pyramid built by Lydia, they experienced mental contact with an alien who provided a drawing of the being and a message about a future contact.

Later that night, while driving with Lydia and another friend, they witnessed a beautiful, oval-shaped UFO hovering about 60-70 feet above treetop level. The craft, about 100 feet across, had pulsating lights. Military aircraft arrived, prompting the UFO to descend and turn off its lights, hiding below the trees. After the aircraft left, the UFO reappeared and played back music that the contactees were broadcasting, indicating a form of recorded playback. The experience concluded with the UFO disappearing again, followed by the arrival of four vehicles with large antennae, which the Volpes believed were part of a ground patrol.

Lynn Volpe shares her own UFO experiences, which began at a much earlier age. She recalls seeing a small, dark, Hershey kiss-shaped object resembling a UFO as a child. She describes being observed by something and later, through hypnosis, recalled frequent encounters with beings who called themselves 'friends,' particularly an old man named Sfath. Sfath, described as an old man from 'Myklexia,' acted as a comforting and protective guide, sometimes flashing telepathic pictures of past lifetimes.

Lynn recounts an encounter with a man in a pale blue Nehru jacket who told her they would watch over and protect her. She also describes encounters with beings in the woods who conveyed similar messages. She details an experience where Sfath allowed her to touch a small, 'KISS' shaped UFO, which felt rough like elephant hide. Lynn believes she and Anthony are "incarnates from another galaxy" chosen for a special mission to raise Earth's vibrations and lead it into a New Age.

Anthony Volpe discusses his development from a technical background to becoming a UFO channel. He explains that he does not channel frequently but has done so on two occasions, receiving messages from a being named Artemis. He sculpted a bust of Artemis, which he believes helped establish a rapport. He states that many people receiving these messages are part of a team working on a plan agreed upon before incarnating on Earth.

Earth Changes and the New Age

The Volpes discuss the concept of 'End Times' and the approaching 'New Age,' emphasizing that it is not the end of the world but a transition. They believe that Earth is undergoing drastic changes, including natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, and freak weather conditions, which they attribute to humanity's pollution and actions. They see this as a cleansing process, similar to the biblical flood. They believe that people who have lived properly will be 'taken' during this transition, while others may be 'left behind.' They stress the importance of following the Ten Commandments and loving one another as the key to raising vibrations and achieving the New Age.

Government Knowledge and UFO Bases

Anthony Volpe believes that governments are aware of UFO activity but maintain a low profile due to potential embarrassment, especially regarding their inability to control or explain the presence of UFOs in their airspace. Lynn Volpe mentions that UFO beings have set up bases near military installations, possibly to monitor government actions and prepare for potential evacuations due to the escalating arms race.

The 'Disappearing Lake' and Other Mysteries

The magazine features an article about Lagoa Sumidouro, the 'Disappearing Lake' in Brazil, a 100-foot high promontory where the lake water disappears underground. The article discusses the phenomenon of the water inflow and outflow, the presence of subterranean caverns, and the possibility of long-distance conduits carrying the water. It also mentions ancient Indian pictographs of disc-shaped craft on the cave walls and the occurrence of UFO sightings in the area. The article notes the presence of unusually large insects and blind fish, suggesting a connection to mysterious forces.

'Space Seeds' and Longevity

An account is shared about 'Dr. Benign,' an academician who received 'mysterious seeds from outer space' from Lucius Leeotto. These seeds grew into a strange plant that produced yellow flowers and seeds, and Leeotto believed it might be a 'longevity plant' that could extend lifespans. The plant was investigated by university experts, though its origin and properties remained somewhat mysterious.

Diane Tessman's Experiences

Diane Tessman shares her story of childhood encounters with alien beings, including a 'Special One' and an old man named Sfath. She describes being levitated and experiencing 'flashbacks' of previous incarnations. Tessman believes she is partly extraterrestrial and has a mission to help humanity. She also discusses the possibility of nuclear war and her 'space friends' offering survival techniques.

Other Features

The issue also includes advertisements for books related to UFOs, New Age concepts, and psychic development, as well as subscription offers for UFO REVIEW and the UFO Investigators League. A sketch of an alien based on the descriptions of Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, who claimed abduction in Pascagoula, Mississippi, is also featured.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, alien contact, messages from extraterrestrial beings, spiritual growth, and predictions about future global events and the 'New Age.'
